7 reviews
Brian May, Patrick Moore, ...

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008

For anyone who wants a unbiased look at the universe itself
The Universe has exploded, and has been expanding and expanding for nearly fourteen billion years. "Bang!: The Complete History of the Universe" is the tale of this explosion that is completely responsible for the book itself- and everything around it that humanity holds dear. It even looks into the future, where everything will be engulfed by a Red Giant Sun billions of years from now, through ...

Beyond Shame: Reclaiming the Abandoned History of Radical Gay Sexuality

3 reviews
Patrick Moore

Beacon Press, 2004

A compelling account of the gay sexual revolultion
This is an extraordinary book. As a gay man in my 30s, I've never really connected with the gay sex world in the 70s although I've always been interested in it. The books that I've read about the 70s have been dry and academic but Moore's book brings the era to life. I was riveted both by the profiles of some of the characters of the time and by the idea that sex can be a kind of art. It ...

Astronomy With a Budget Telescope
Patrick Moore, John Watson

Springer, 2003

Sir Patrick Moore, CBE, FRS has long been the scourge of those people selling low-cost astronomical telescopes via mail-order catalogues and non-specialist stores. Ten years ago the quality was appalling and disappointment would have been almost guaranteed - but times have changed, and having surveyed some the best and worst of today's inexpensive mail-order catalogue and main-street astronomical telescopes Patrick has admitted to being ...

"Tweaked"
This is an excellent book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I have some knowledge of this addiction and found it to be true to form.

Blood Magic: Secrets of Thaumaturgy (Vampire: The Masquerade)

7 reviews
Justin Achilli, Jess Heinig, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2000

BAMPH!!!!!!
A book detailing the complex discipline of Thaumaturgy has been long needed. This is a really good one and while it doesn't solve all the problems created by the past handling of Thaumaturgy in VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE, it goes a long way toward clarifying and further developing the discipline. The book discussed the history and theory of vampiric blood magic. We learn that it predates the ...

The Universe

46 reviews
Patrick Moore, Iain Nicholson

Prentice Hall College Div, 1985

The Best
Visually intoxicating! You can learn the secrets of the universe in this one volume. I have numerous DK published books all of which are excellent. However, this is the paragon that all the other books are judged by. Simply, it is the best book that they have ever published. It should be the standard text book for astronomy classes!

The Astronomy Encyclopedia

3 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

This book has everything you would want to know.
This book is state of the art in information. It can answer any possible question you can ask about astronomy. It is a thick heavy hard covered book. I spent two hours just reading the captions of over 500 pictures and learned things I never thought about. Get it.

Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky: A London Trilogy (New York Review Books Classics)

2 reviews
Patrick Hamilton

NYRB Classics, 2008

The Midnight Bell - What a Pub
It would be wonderful to walk into a pub, or bar inhabited by characters like the ones in these stories, and one can by reading the book. The characters are so well developed, their thoughts, language and conversations so exact that one finds it easy to relate to them and their circumstances. These characters are alive to the reader and these characters know themselves, and still, because of time ...

Small Astronomical Observatories (Practical Astronomy)

2 reviews

Springer, 1996

Lots of options to help you decide on an observatory for you
'Small Astronomical Observatories' is not your ordinary astro book. It shows you a number of different observatory designs, but assumes you already have knowledge of key construction concepts. Spherical and polygonal domes, roll off roofs and some unusual designs are included in this book (which were built by amateur astronomers). There are even blue print type diagrams for a few of the ...

The Mighty Street Sweeper

4 reviews
Patrick Moore

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2006

love this book!
This is a really adorable book. The drawings in particular are very alive and happy and the story was very entertaining. I'm a pretty picky kid's book reader-- so many of them are bland and predictable, but this one's got heart and soul!
